Head of FEMA resigning, questioned over use of vehicles

Long's deputy, Peter Gaynor, will be named the acting administrator in his absence. The response to Maria, which devastated Puerto Rico, has been heavily criticized, and Long has said FEMA learned lessons on how to better prepare.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said of Long in a statement, "I appreciate his tireless dedication to FEMA and his commitment to fostering a culture of preparedness across the nation".

Two months after Long took over FEMA in June 2017, Hurricane Harvey dumped a record amount of rainfall in Texas and Hurricane Irma became one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record before slamming into Florida.

Long said FEMA's No. 2 official, Pete Gaynor, would take over on a temporary basis when he departs.

The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency resigned Wednesday after a two-year tenure in which he managed the response to historic wildfires and major hurricanes but was dogged by questions over his use of government vehicles. Long almost resigned the week after Hurricane Florence struck the Carolinas last September, but Nielsen convinced him to stay, according to a separate Post report. Long has been under scrutiny by the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general for using the vehicles to travel between Washington and his home in Hickory, N.C., where his wife and children live. Trump must nominate a permanent replacement for Long and that person must be confirmed by the Senate.
